  • db4o continues with "Cash for Cases" program: We're still looking for new and interesting case studies of applications that took a leap forward thanks to the db4o technology. But now you have the chance to be rewarded for your submission!
  • Jease released: dVP and restless db4o contributor Maik Jablonski just released Jease into the wild - a Java-based Content-Management-Framework which uses db4o as persistence engine. In Maik's own words "If you are interested in building content- or database-driven web-applications with Java, you should check out Jease: http://www.jease.org/ [...] Out of the box Jease provides a fully Ajax-driven Content-Management-System which can easily be tailored to your specific requirements. All you have to know is a little bit Java"
  • Taban: The idea behind Taban is that a web application will simply use HTTP methods (GET, PUT and DELETE) to perform the usual CRUD operations required for persistence, but using JSON as the data exchange format. Taban is (will be) implemented as OSGi bundles and will call out to/depend on a number of OSGi services. db4o is to provide the default implementation of the database. Stay tuned!
